"Wrap up all the precious banknotes on that counter."

"Yes!"

"My lord, they are all wrapped."

"Good. Take these banknotes carefully, and follow me out!"

"Got it, my lord, where are we going?"

Su Qiao looked at the distant Front Gate Street and asked.

"Do you see that place over there? What is it?"

"My lord, you are truly joking. Isn't that Front Gate Street?"

Su Qiao looked at the few people before him and smiled.

"Do you want to buy a mansion in that place?"

The moment the words fell.

The Deputy Commissioner immediately nodded for his life.

"I do, my lord! This humble official dreams of buying a mansion in this place every night!"

Su Qiao could not help but smile.

"Take this money and buy out the entire Front Gate Street."

"Yes!"

The Deputy Commissioner immediately lifted his leg to leave.

Then he suddenly came to his senses, realizing what this meant.

Ming Law.

Embezzling sixty taels results in skinning and stuffing with straw!

Looking at his own stinking skin and bones, the Deputy Commissioner immediately shivered.

"My lord, this, this is not good..."

"What is not good about it?"

"But these are the Great Ming's precious banknotes."

Su Qiao looked at the Deputy Commissioner with a helpless expression and said.

"I never said I was giving you this mansion directly!"

The corner of the Deputy Commissioner's mouth twitched slightly.

"Then that doesn't seem good either?"

"What are you afraid of? Even if it's not good, it has nothing to do with you!"

The corner of the Deputy Commissioner's mouth twitched slightly.

In the end, he could only go out to handle the business.

After the Deputy Commissioner left, Su Qiao slowly raised his head and looked at the crowd in the distance, saying.

"Bring me a map of Jin Ling."

"Yes!"

A moment later.

Su Qiao looked at the buildings on the Jin Ling map and immediately began drawing with a pen.

"The Imperial City... Yes, just like that..."

Seeing the Forbidden City circled by Su Qiao, the officials of the Commissioner's Office in the distance immediately felt a sense of ominous foreboding.

"My lord, this is the Imperial City! The Proprietor cannot sell this!"

Hearing the official's words, Su Qiao's face immediately sank, and then he said.

"Who told you this official intends to buy the Imperial City?"

Hearing this, the crowd before them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed.

Who would be so foolish as to buy the Forbidden City?

Before the crowd could come to their senses, they heard Su Qiao's voice, almost like a nightmare, drifting over.

"Except for the Forbidden City, buy every single other place!"

In an instant.

The Currency Exchange Warehouse fell into a dead silence.

This is worse than buying the Forbidden City!

This is the entire Jin Ling!

Is there any place in Great Ming more valuable per inch of land than Jin Ling?!

"Why are you all standing there stunned? Go buy them immediately!"

"Tell those Proprietors: if they want banknotes, give them banknotes; if they want gold, give them gold; if they want silver, give them gold."

"Our Bureau of Precious Banknotes Commissioners has nothing else."

"Money is unlimited!"

On this land, even the Hubuya Sect would probably not dare to challenge the Bureau of Precious Banknotes Commissioners.

After all, the printing molds are right inside the Bureau of Precious Banknotes Commissioners' office.

Working hard for a lifetime is nothing compared to the Bureau of Precious Banknotes Commissioners working a few extra hours.

Hearing Su Qiao's words, the entire Currency Exchange Warehouse immediately fell into a dead silence.

"Set out!"

"Yes... yes!"

As they walked out of the Chengtian Sect Treasury.

Almost every official of the Baochao Supervisory Office had legs trembling.

The vast majority of them had never in their lives seen so much silver.

Let alone spend so much silver.

Moreover, Su Qiao's pricing for them was very clear.

The asking price didn't matter.

As long as the Proprietor was willing to sell.

The Imperially Commissioned Wei Duke's Mansion.

Inside the main hall.

Xu Huizu, the eldest son of Xu Da and the current Wei Duke of Great Ming, looked at the Baochao Supervisory Office official before him with a face full of black lines and asked.

"You... what did you say?"

"My Lord, is this mansion for sale... name your price, I absolutely will not bargain!"

Xu Huizu nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Is this mansion for sale?!

Can we even sell this mansion?!

This was bestowed by the Son of Heaven.

Just as Xu Huizu wanted to order people to kick the Baochao Supervisory Office officials out.

He suddenly came to his senses.

"No, has the Baochao Supervisory Office recently changed its chief official?"

The acting official of the Baochao Supervisory Office immediately spoke as if he had grabbed a lifeline.

"My Lord, please understand, our supervisor Su Qiao, Lord Su, has just taken office; this matter was ordered by Lord Su."

Su Qiao!

Hearing this name.

Xu Huizu's heart nearly jumped out of his throat.

Who exactly is Su Qiao?

He is the one who directly spoke of deposing and appointing emperors before Old Zhu, and who could escape with his life after blowing up the Forbidden City!

Suddenly coming today to collect mansions.

Could this be ordered by Old Zhu behind the scenes?

Thinking this.
